This study aims to quantify the benefit of cycling space development in Jakarta. There are very few studies which evaluate benefits of cycling, especially if cyclist’s conditions including road facilities are improved. Improvements on health, accidents, air pollution, travel time, saving on parking costs, vehicle cost and security-enjoyments were considered as benefits in this study. As quantifying was done without established data and value available, the Contingent Valuation Methods (CVM) including Willingness to Pay (WTP) and Willingness to Use with considerations and realistic assumptions were introduced as methodology. The results show that development of cycling space is valuable measures, especially on saving of user cost. This is because the higher interest to cycling among the large number of motorized vehicles in Jakarta. This study is designed to discuss the framework of methodology, therefore the finding could be developed to be more comprehensive quantifying for the further research.
